Abstract: 

Statistical methods are widely used in everyday life and research. Users are very different in their abilities and skills. Given the diversity of users every statistical educator must find a way to teach statistics and to decide what is important and understandable for a specific group of users. We shall try to present some views of the teaching of statistics.
